John Oliver, "The Conservatives have had 5 different prime ministers over the past 14 years.. It's worth briefly revisiting all of them"
1⃣"David Cameron.. Austerity.. Brexit"
2⃣"Theresa May.. More austerity, two child cap"
3⃣"Boris Johnson.. His time in office was a shambles.. Britain left the EU on the same day of the first case of the corona virus was announced.. His handling of covid was an unmitigated disaster"
"For the record there is only one actual f*ckpig in Downing Street.. David Cameron.. As a student at Oxford he once put his d*ck in a dead pig's mouth"
4⃣"Liz Truss who had the shortest tenure of any British prime minister in history.. Her budget full of tax cuts for the rich which caused a mini economic crisis"
5⃣"Sunak the wet.. A man who literally does not have the sense to get in from the rain"
"Brexit created red tape that has grown exponentially.. Trading goods with the EU is now so onerous that many businesses have chosen to relocate into mainland Europe which is not good news for the UK"
"Brexit is estimated to be costing the economy about £100 billion a year"
"While Brexit makes the news, austerity is the legacy of Cameron and his successors because it has in so many ways obliterated public services"
"Take the NHS, years of under investment have left it gutted and understaffed.. Wait lists for NHS treatment have exploded.. More than 7.5 million waiting for non emergency treatment, that's over 2.5 million when the Conservatives came in in 2010"
This is enraging. Brexit lies & Johnson’s corruption hollowed out any semblance of morality from the heart of the Tory machine. A fish rots from the head down & all that. Right-wing media will clutch its pearls but they facilitated & even cheered all of the events that led here.

Nigel Farage called England players ‘gutless’ for not speaking up about the new flag design on the England shirt

What an extraordinarily disingenuous tweet.
Labour had nothing to do with the collapse of Northern Rock. In fact it bailed it out.
Meanwhile Rishi Sunak was a hedge fund manager at TCI which caused the collapse of RBS roughly a year later.
“This is the ONLY Parliament in modern history where you have seen living standards fall”
A damning indictment of the Conservative Party’s economic incompetence.

Lads, you literally put the son of a KGB spy in the House of Lords & refused to investigate Russian interference in U.K. politics. Pack it in, you look ridiculous.
Unfortunately, a tabloid newspaper has got hold of a music video I recorded in Islington North with an iconic grime artist I've admired for years.
They are planning to publish a heavily edited clip, so I'm releasing the full version myself. Watch here: https://t.co/vwNGQN2wqU
